Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fogger and what is a ULV Cold Fogging Device?
A fogger is a device that creates a “fog” or a very fine mist typically containing a chemical for a specific application. Foggers allow the user to greatly reduce application time and chemical consumption.
A ULV (Ultra Low Volume) “cold” fogger is a device which can deliver various chemical products in a very small particle size (5-30 microns), often required by the chemical manufacturer. A “cold” fogger is one which does not heat, distort, or damage the chemical as some other fogging devices do. A ULV fogger does not electrically charge (“electrostatic”) the fluid particles, as some other foggers do. While electrostatic devices can be an advantage for some applications, in many cases they can be a disadvantage due to sensitive electronics near that application area and the inability to keep the chemical away from certain surfaces or cavities.
What makes the OMNIfogUSA ULV Cold Fogger different?
The first ULV cold fogger to enable the use of quality, brand name tools such as DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Ryobi and more. The most versatile and compact unit on the market which offers robust cordless performance. Adjustable fog droplet size from 10 to 110 Microns (independent lab certified).
- Exclusive check valve assembly allows use in vertical and horizontal positions without messy leaks.
- It’s simple, anyone can set up and use the nozzle to achieve professional results.
- Can be used in hot and cold conditions and can be used indoors and outdoors.
- Does not heat the chemicals as some foggers do. It is truly a “cold fogger” which can be used for almost all chemicals with a viscosity similar to water.
It is the most effective and inexpensive solution on the market today.

Which electric corded and cordless blowers can be used with the OMNIfogUSA ULV Fogger Nozzle?
We design the OMNIfogUSA fogger nozzle to be used with many off-the-shelf Shop Blowers meeting our engineering specifications. Please see our website for a full list of Makes and Models that have been tested for use with the OMNIfogUSA fogger.
**OMNIFOGUSA cannot regulate which blower may be used and assumes no liability for any direct, or indirect or consequential damage or lack of performance which may arise out of such use.**
What types of products can be used with a OMNIfogUSA ULV Fogger Nozzle?
The OMNIfogUSA nozzles are designed to atomize light viscosity liquids that are water and oil based including (but not limited to), disinfectants, cleaning solutions, pesticides, fertilizers, degreasers, oils, odor control products and mold remediation products. Heavier liquids like soaps can also be used as long as the surface tension is not excessive. DO NOT use flammable liquids in an OMNIfogUSA nozzle. Electric blowers use an open motor concept and are not explosion proof.
Is the Omnifog USA device heavy?
No, the device itself weighs less than 0.5 LB and is made of high strength plastic. With a blower attached, the unit weighs only a few pounds and can easily be used with one hand if needed. The unit size is compact at 11” long x 6.5” wide with a blower.
What safety precautions should I consider when using a OMNIfogUSA ULV Fogger Nozzle?
Always read your chemical label to make sure it can be used in a fogging application. Most chemicals and pesticides have instructions for use, application rates, and suggested application equipment.
If the product does not have application instructions, contact the manufacturer to obtain the required information. Small droplets can travel great distances before settling or dissipating. Plan your application carefully using common sense and taking into consideration wind direction, safety of animals and children, objects and other people.

What type of protective equipment should be used when fogging?
Fogging liquids increase routes of exposure. Inhalation, skin, and mucous membrane irritation are just a few. Always follow the instructions given with the chemical to be used. A material safety data sheet (MSDS) is usually enclosed with every chemical. If you do not have an MSDS, please contact the supplier of the chemical or chemical manufacturer to obtain one.
Is the OMNIfogUSA ULV Fogger Nozzle droplet size adjustable?
The OMNIfogUSA fogger is easily adjustable using the knob on the needle valve. This knob is screwed or unscrewed, allowing the user to fine tune the droplet size per the application required.
What micron droplet size does the OMNIfogUSA ULV Fogger Nozzle produce?
The output size of the droplet created by the OMNIfogUSA is adjustable 7-10 Microns (fine) droplet, 15-40 (medium) droplet commonly used for disinfectants, and 30-120 (heavy) droplet. The OMNIfogUSA system allows for uniform delivery of the selected droplet size.
Has the OMNIfogUSA ULV Fogger Nozzle performance been tested and validated by an independent laboratory?
What size of an area can I treat with an OMNIfogUSA ULV Fogger Nozzle?
The OMNIfogUSA ULV Fogger Nozzle has the ability to treat large areas quickly. Applications of 5,000-6,000 cubic feet per minute is to be expected. OMNIfogUSA technology uses an ultra-low volume principle, producing economical results compared to other units on the market. Customers using the traditional spray & wipe techniques can expect to save at least 50% of chemical and labor time during application.
What maintenance does the OMNIfogUSA ULV Fogger Nozzle require?
OMNIfogUSA foggers require little maintenance. After each use detach the nozzle from the blower and run the nozzle under warm water to remove any residual chemicals. Wash out the container, partially fill with clean water reattach to the blower and fog for 30 seconds.
Are accessories available from OMNIfogUSA?
Yes, a number of complementary accessories are available from OMNIfogUSA such as blowers, batteries, chargers, larger capacity containers and more.
